Can You Spot the Signs of Auto AC Trouble?

The most obvious sign of automobile air conditioner trouble is the realization that you’re hot. But what else might you recognize that should prompt you to seek attention? First, it’s a good practice to have us inspect your system once per year to spot any signs of trouble and ensure that your car is ready for hot weather. Another clear signal is when the AC won’t come on at all. That could point to an electrical problem like a broken wire. If the air is blowing but not cool, the issue may be as simple as the need for a recharge of refrigerant/coolant, or it could indicate a failed/failing compressor. Also, extremely cold or hot air could mean a stuck blend air door that’s not allowing air to mix correctly to reach your desired temperature as set on the climate controls. Finally, puddles or a wet, musty smell may indicate a leak or clog that’s allowing moisture to collect in your passenger cabin. You’ll need to have us fix that before your interior begins to mold.
